Proverbs 21:15-17
Lexham English Bible
15 It is a joy to the righteous to do justice,
but dismay to those who do evil.
16 Whoever wanders from the way of understanding,
in the assembly of the dead[a] he will rest.
17 A man of want is he who loves pleasure;
he who loves wine and oil[b] will not become rich.
